Social Housing Models in Ho Chi Minh City - Inadequacies and Solutions

Currently, the rapid economic development of Ho Chi Minh City demands a significant increase in the labor force, resulting in a growing demand for affordable housing, particularly for those with low incomes, while the social housing fund provided by the government is inadequate. The shortage of social housing projects has led to higher home prices, making it increasingly difficult for low-income individuals to own a social housing unit. The provision of social housing is still limited due to various factors, such as land shortages, insufficient financial resources from the budget, and unattractive investment policies. Therefore, finding a solution to meet the current and future demand for affordable housing for low-income workers is an urgent matter. This article discusses the possibility of investing in the development of social housing models to meet the housing needs of low-income workers. Data collected from documents, surveys, and other sources will be analyzed and discussed to identify appropriate models for this topic. The research results can be used for managing and investing in the social housing market in Ho Chi Minh City.
